Riot supplies this champion's identity, text, and abilities. MacroDiff has not published a curated analysis layer for it yet, so roles and signals below are inferred from Riot's archetype data.

KIT READ

Abilities

Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.

Q

Weapon Abilites

Aphelios has 5 different activated abilities, based on his main-hand weapon: Calibrum (Rifle): Long range shot that marks its target for a long-range follow-up attack. Severum (Scythe Pistol): Run fast while attacking nearby enemies with both weapons. Gravitum (Cannon): Root all enemies slowed by this weapon. Infernum (Flamethrower): Blast enemies in a cone and attack them with your off-hand weapon. Crescendum (Chakram): Deploy a sentry that shoots your off-hand weapon.

W

Phase

Aphelios swaps his main-hand gun with his off-hand gun, replacing his basic attack and activated ability.

E

Weapon Queue System

Aphelios has no third ability. This slot shows the next weapon Alune will give him. Weapon order begins fixed but may change over game time -- when a weapon is out of ammo it goes to the end of the order.

R

Moonlight Vigil

Fire a concentrated blast of moonlight that explodes on enemy champions. Applies the unique effect of Aphelios' main-hand gun.

Aatrox into ranged top: three spacing rules

The matchup is lost in the first three waves or not at all. Three rules that keep the lane survivable until your first sustain spike.
